too much joy, "long-haired guy from england," which compares and contrasts the sexual success rate of english longhairs with short-haired guys from the united states. and which adds a humorous aside about a certain very tall bald guy from australia, who is judged to be closer to the longhaireed brit side of the equation, because being bald and australian is "sort of the same thing."

I wanted gear--got everything from cotton to suede
I wanted lead--I didn't beg I just got laid
My hair was growin too long, so I got me a fade

(and when my dishes got dirty, I got Cascade
when the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shade
I'm wise because I rise to the top of my grade
wanted peace on Earth, so to God I prayed
Some kids across town thought I was afraid
they couldn't harm me--
I got the army brigade
I'm not a trader
if what you got is greater I'll trade
but maybe later cuz my waiter made taste an an alligator souflee)

i got it made (special ed)
